Animal Rescue League of NH sets date for Evening of Compassion fundraiser

BEDFORD - The Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire's 10th annual Evening of Compassion has been scheduled for Thursday, May 8, at the Manchester Country Club on South River Road in Bedford.

The league says the evening is one of its most significant fundraisers, highlighting key accomplishments during the past year and providing an opportunity for the community to rally around the shelter's mission.

Last year's Evening of Compassion was a record-setting year, raising more than $105,000, which helped offset the cost for the care and services of 2,000-plus shelter animals served in 2013.

The evening will kick off with a cocktail reception at 5:30 p.m.

Tickets are $85 and are available for purchase at www.rescueleague.org/eveningofcompassion.cfm.

Corporate sponsorships are available, including for Best in Show and People's Choice. For more information about sponsor levels and benefits, email Karen Moynihan at kmoynihan@rescueleague.org.
